Total meltdown - All Node-red work lost

General
29

Been there myself recently.

I lost a couple of years work a while back.

I am using a NUC rather than a RasPie, but the idea is the same.

This is a little "backup" script I made:

(You will have to edit some paths and stuff... But I hope this helps.)

#!/bin/bash
# ---------------------------------------
# Simple backup script v1.0
# ---------------------------------------

# Variables
myDate=`date "+%Y-%m-%d.%H.%M.%S"`
#backupFolderName="Backup_$myDate"
backupFolderName="$myDate"
backupSource="/home/me/.node-red"
backupDest="/home/me/Backups/NR/LOCAL"
backupFilter="*.j*"
backupExclude="lost\+found"

# Tell the user what we're working with
echo "The myDate variable contains: $myDate"
echo "A backup of $backupSource/$backupFilter will be made and stored in $backupDest/$backupFolderName"

# Begin backup
rsync -avz --progress $backupSource/$backupFilter --exclude=$backupExclude $backupDest/$backupFolderName
#RC = $?

# We're done.
echo "Done!"
exit  $RC

This is a bash script.

I run it now and then when I am doing big changes or it feels like a good time to do a backup.
